ARFF Trainers Qualifications Who is qualified to train and assess your members. ARFF should have an established standard for qualifications of a training officers The person conducting the training must be qualified to instruct and if necessary assess the knowledge and skills required The training officers must possess proficiency in the subject matter and skills sets being taught Students need to have confidence in the instructor s ability to provide the training necessary for them to develop required proficiencies Success in the development of skill sets is dependent upon the competency of the instructor.

Risk v Gain The benefits of proceeding with a task must be weighed carefully against the risks, it is important to think before you act rather than act before you think. The following statements embrace the philosophy of the Fire Services approach to managing risk at an incident: In a highly calculated way, fire-fighters: Video will take some risk to save saveable lives may take some risk to save saveable property will not take any risk at all to try to save lives or properties that are already lost.
